President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk were seen engaging in a brief conversation during Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, with a professional lip reader disclosing details of their exchange. The encounter occurred as the two figures reunited months after their public feud, with Trump reportedly greeting Musk with a casual “How are you doing?” before suggesting, “Let’s try and work out how to get back on track.” Musk responded with nods and an apparent acknowledgment of Trump’s overture.
The meeting took place at the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona, where more than 60,000 mourners gathered to honor Kirk, a conservative influencer who had publicly urged reconciliation between the two men. Musk later confirmed on X that his attendance was “For Charlie,” citing Kirk’s longstanding desire for their collaboration. The lip reader’s interpretation highlighted Trump’s apparent attempt to mend ties, including his statement, “I’ve missed you,” as he tapped Musk’s hand.
The event underscored Kirk’s influence in facilitating the unexpected reunion, with observers noting the irony of his role in bridging the divide between two prominent figures.
